One OF Brldgeport's le5ter-carriers,
whose duties require him to distribute
the mail over his route after dark,
has adopted the novel practice of
wearing an electric scart-pin. When
DESTROYS Of looking at the address of

His scarf-pin flashes out a, one-candle

John Buckley, of Meriden, caught
snapping-turtle and took it to the
telephone Office where he works. He
thought that he would kill the animal
by electricity, and so put the end of q
wire in front Of it, and the turtle
snapped it and held on. Then Buck

and turned on the entire electric cur

Fishery Commissioners Unable to Form
late a General Treaty.

Fishery Commissioners Unable to Formu-
late General Treaty.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 12.-It is be-
,ieved here that the fishery commission
have given up all hope of formulating a
general treaty, and that the most they
hope to accomplish is agreement upon a
protocol defining the new meaning of
Certain clauses of the treaty of 1918,
such DIS those relating to bait, to
repairs and refreshments, and to the
trans-shipment in bond across Canada
of American fish. It is understood that
such protocol, if it is agreed on, will be
merely explanatory Of the old treaty,
and will not have to be sent to the Sen
ate for action, but, if acceptable
to the State Department, will pro-
vide a mode of action for the
future. The long recess, it is understood,
was taken at the instance of Mr.. Cham
berlain, who found it necessary to send
his communication to the British foreign
Office by mail and to await further sug-
gestions by mail, all of which requires
fully three weeks. The uncertainty of
an agreement involving commercial
privileges being recognized by Congress,
even if treaty should be ratified by
the Senate, has been made clear to Mr.
Cham berlain by the status of the reel
procity treaty with Mexico, which the
House of Representative has to date
refused to recognize by the necessary
act to carry it into effect.

From the Macon Telegraph.
In connection with revenue news I
learn that rather remarkable state
OF things exists in some of the north
Georgia counties. When Judge Nc
Cay was alive and on the bench g.
woman charged with illicit distilling
was brought into court and convicted.
Judge McCay was in dilemma what
to do with the prisoner. He couldn't
send her to jail where there was large
number OF persons of the other sex.
He ended by reading her lecture and
sending her home with the admoni-
tion to quit making whisky. He
added the threat that if she was
brought back he would put her in
prison, even if he had to build q sepa-
rate Jail. Since that time the revenue
officers have captured several stills
operated by women. They destr yed
the stills. but did not modest the wom-
en-. Afterward they found the same
women making blockade whisky. 1t
is further stated that in some counties
the men, finding the disposition of the
court toward the women, have put
them in charge of the stills, and keep
away from them themselves. The
revenue officials hardly know how to
meet the case

A Chinese Military School.

The following interesting account of
the Chinese Military Academy at
Tientsin is given by a. correspondent
OF the Russian Official Messenger:
"Nearly three years ago the Chinese
government, at the instigation of Ii
Hung Chang, decided to establish an
academy for forming staff OF we'll
instructed native officers. With this
object the first body of Chinese cadets
were brought together and installed
in the office of the admiralty OF TENT
sin. This was In March, 1885, and
very soon afterward the construction
OF q separate building for them was
commenced. This is now completed
and 1T is to serve as the model of SIM
liar buildings, one of which is to be
erected In the capital Of each OF the
eighteen provinces. The building is
capable OF accommodating 800 stu
dents and the administrative staff.
On g. wide plain adjoining the build
Ing are encamped under tents g. con-
siderable body of infantry and ar
tillery.
"At the head of the corps of cadets
is Chinese officer, the Taotai Yang
Tsung Pan. His colleague is Mai.
Paul, of the German artillery. The
masters and instructors are also for
elgn officers, chiefly German, and the
system OF training is borrowed from
the German. The sons of the upper
classes alone are admitted between
the ages of IA and Is. At first this
rule was not observed, and there was
one instance of a. cadet being as old as
35. Each student is expected to re.
main four years in the general class,
where he is taught Chinese, writing,
foreign Languages, geography and
natural science"

Managed to Get the Best of Him

From the Boston Gazette.
A gentleman about to close his sum-
mer house at Nahant, conceived what
he considered brilliant idea to in

cordingly, he said to the old man that
he would leave all his clocks, one in

should be W0uud up at 8 regular hour
each day. the old man concurred
in the plan with all his heart,

he arrived there efound his man, who
was very glad to see him, and told
him that he had wound each clock
faithfully as he had directed. On en-
tering the house the two proceeded to
the rear drawing room, and the aston

imagined than described when he saw
ranged along in g. row his thirteen
clocks, which the old man had brought
down to save himself the trouble OF

PARIS. Dec. cit is expected that M.
Goblet will be prime minister in the
new cabinet, and that M. Flourens will
retain the portfolio of minister of for
eign affairs. President Sadi-Carnot, in
an interview with M. Clemenceau to-day,
insisted upon the necessity of a
union of all the Republicans in the
Chambers. first to show foreigners that
Republicans can agree, and second, in
order that they may vote an honest and
sincere budget. NJ. Clemenceau fully
endorsed the presidents views. The
accord between President Sadi-Carnot
and M. Clemenceau is regarded as a
good omen Of the future Of the Repub-
lie. The chambers have adjourned until
Saturday.
The President to-day received M.
Ribot and other leading politicians. The
Extremists still continue to oppose the
retention of Gen. Saussier as governor
of Paris.

MOST GETS A YEAR.
The Anarchist Agitator Sentenced to q
Term in Sing Sing.

The Anarchist Agitator Sentenced to q
Term in Sing Sing.
New YORK, Dec. 8.-Herr Johan Most,
the Anarchist, who wa s convicted of
misdemeanor, was arraigned in the
general sessions court to-day. His coun-
sci, Mr.. Howe, argued in his behalf for
q new trial. He contended that Most
had not been convicted on any fair evil
dence but that an unfair prejudice had
been instilled into the case. The
Jury convicted him because of senti-
ments published in Most's books three
years ago. Counsel argued on behalf of
liberty and free speech. Judge Cowing
said he would deny the motion but that
he would grant certificate to the SUI
preme court general term when the
whole case might be heard.
When the clerk of the court asked
Most what he had to say why sentence
should not be pronounced on him, Most.
in very dramatic manner said:
''YoUR HONOR: From a legal point
of view it may appear very diff
cult to stay a sentence when a
jury has rendered their verdict. But
there are certain occasions when
the court should and must rise superior
to d jury finding. No independent judge
will for instance pronounce capital pun
ishment upon man of whose inno-
cence he is morally convinced, no mat
ter what verdict the jury has entered.
In the present case the issue is surely
not one of life or death to any person,
but the issue is far broader and deeper
one. Therefore, with all respect
to your honor, consider it my duty to
reply to your question, why
sentence should not be pronounced
upon me, to state that it is in your prov
ince to-day to decide whether free
speech and lawful assemblages should
be destroyed in this country. The sem
tence which your honor is about to pro-
nounce will be engrafted upon the his
tory of the United States. Punishment
inflicted upon an innocent man and
brought about by prejudice and per-
jury is rather an honor
than a shame to the sufferer
one who suffers for his opinions sake. I
again protest my innocence of guilt of
the offense for which l stand convicted
and appeal to your honor to make use
of such discretion as lies within your
power"
Judge Cowing's only reply was: "The
sentence of the court is that you be con-
fined in the penitentiary for a period of
one year without the fine" Then Most
was taken back to the Tombs.
